Wall or partition dividing a body space or cavity space Septum



Interatrial Septum Partition or wall that separates the right atrium from the left atrium



Partition or wall that separates the right atrium from the left atrium Interatrial Septum



Inter- between



Septum- wall



Atrio-Ventricular Septum Separates atria from ventricles


General term for separating upper and lower chamber without regard to side

Ventricular Septum



Separates atria from ventricles Atrio-Ventricular Septum



Interventricular Septum Wall or partition located between the right and left ventricle



Wall or partition located between the right and left ventricle Interventricular Septum



Valves of the heart: (4) Bicuspid

,Tricuspid


Pulmonary Semi-Lunar valve


Aortic Semi-Lunar valve



Function of valves in the heart Allows blood to flow in one direction


Prevent backflow or regurgitation of blood


Opens and closes when the heart relaxes and contracts



Allows blood to flow in one direction Valves



Prevent backflow or regurgitation of blood Valves



Opens and closes when the heart relaxes and contracts Valves



Tricuspid Valve AKA: right atrio-ventricular valve



Bicuspid Valve AKA: mitral valve



valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle Tricuspid valve



Has 3 cusps or flaps Tricuspid valve

,Tricuspid valve allows blood to flow from: Right atrium to right ventricle, but not in opposite
direction



Bicuspid valve location located between the left atrium and left ventricle



Has two cusps or valves Bicuspid valve



Bicuspid valve allows blood to flow: from left atrium to left ventricle



Pulmonary Semi-Lunar valve is found: at the orifice/opening of the pulmonary trunk



Pulmonary Semi-Lunar valve allows blood to flow from the righ ventricle into the pulmonary
trunk which in turn delivers blood to the lungs



Aortic Semi-Lunar valve is located at the orifice of the aorta



Located at the orifice of the aorta Aortic Semi-Lunar valve


Allows blood to flow from the righ ventricle into the pulmonary trunk which in turn delivers
blood to the lungs Pulmonary Semi-Lunar valve



Permits blood to leave left ventricle and flow into the aorta (ascending aorta) Aortic Semi-
Lunar valve



Aortic Semi-Lunar valve permits blood to leave left ventricle and flow into the aorta
(ascending aorta)

, The right atrium receives blood from which three veins Superior Vena Cava: returns blood
from all areas above the diaphragm


Inferior Vena Cava: returns blood from areas inferior to the diaphragm


Coronary Sinus: located in the posterior wall of the right atrium and returns blood from
coronary circulation



Returns blood from all areas above the diaphragm Superior Vena Cava



Returns blood from areas inferior to the diaphragm Inferior Vena Cava


Located in the posterior wall of the right atrium and returns blood from coronary circulation
Coronary Sinus


Systemic Circulation, which includes coronary circulation terminates in the ______ _______ via
these three veins: (3) Right Atrium


Superior Vena Cava, Inferior Vena Cave, Coronary Sinus



Right Atrium Contains Pectinate Muscles: muscular ridges located in the anterior wall


Fossa Ovalis: an oval depression located in the septal wall of the right atrium



Muscular ridges located in the anterior wall. Pectinate Muscles



These ridges run parallel to each other and resemble the teeth in a comb Pectinate Muscles
